MATTHEW BOYLE, BREITBART NEWS: Right, okay, so you mentioned George W. Bush at the beginning of that answer, and now there's a lot of news going on out there. Today is a somber day for the Bush family and for your predecessor, former Vice President Dick Cheney, who passed away, today's his funeral, so I wanted to see if you have any thoughts on or message to the Cheney family.

I know there was some misreporting out there about whether or not you were invited to that or whatever, but outside of that, there's also another big report that came out a couple of days ago about how George W. Bush and the people around him are plotting for a retaking the Republican Party from President Trump and you down the road and going back to the old way of doing things. I guess they don't like to win, but the point is that that's out there, so any response to that as well?

VICE PRESIDENT J.D. VANCE: Well, first of all, my condolences go to Dick Cheney and his family. Obviously, there are some political disagreements there, but he was a guy who served his country. We certainly wish his family all the best in this moment of grieving.

On the issue of George W. Bush, I mean, look, as you know, Matt, I don't put stock in any story that doesn't come from Matthew J. Boyle at Breitbart News, so this could be totally fake news, but I definitely think, and you already see this, you saw this in 2020, you're going to see it in 2025 and 2026, there is an effort to try to wrest control of the Republican Party away from the voters and away from the coalition...

” ... he was a guy who served his country.”
In fact, Dick had five Vietnam draft deferments, like Joe.
Cheney exerted himself in order to *not* serve his country.
His daughter Lizard is an apple, like Hunter, that didn’t fall far from the tree.

Iraq and Afghanistan, sure, but then there's Korea, Vietnam, Kosovo, Libya, and almost Syria were all Democrat wars.

Here's the actually existing Republican Party (minus Trump):

The GOP believes in and will fight for:

1) Open borders
2) A global open market in labor
3) Offshoring productive industries
4) Financialization of the economy
5)) Severing the medium of exchange function of money from the store of value function.
6) Usury as the main engine of consumption.
7) Denying the people their natural, healthy love of their nation
8) Overseas wars on behalf of alien peoples without recompense for our sacrifice.
9) Forced "diversity" with its attendent decline in standards and inevitably accompanying violence.

The GOP has plenty of principles, convictions, and values. YOU must decide if they are yours, or not.

Well, good luck to Liz Cheney in retaking the Republican Party from the Trump coalition. Liz got all of 28 percent of the vote in the Republican primary against Harriet Hageman and that was almost all from Democrats - Wyoming allows cross over voting and almost no one voted in the Dem primary that year. Under no circumstances would I ever vote for another Bush or Cheney and I doubt many others would.
